Stay away from this lens that takes blurry pictures

I compared this to my Tamron 18-270mm zoom, and if you take pictures with Tamron at 270mm and recrop them to give you a picture equvalent to 500mm, it was still sharper than the images this lens took. Tamron also has the image stabilization, of course....

Reach

Terrible image quality. Even placing my camera on a tripod, using a fast shutter speed, and meticulous focusing could not save this lens
